SECOND ANNUAL DINNER FEATURED CUSTOM HOP GUITAR RAFFLE

The Hop Jam, Oklahoma’s largest craft beer and music festival, is proud to announce the second annual Brewers’ Table Dinner, raising funds for the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, took place on August 28th.

The event brought together the elements of great Oklahoma craft beer along with a gourmet meal designed by Food Bank Executive Chef Jeff Marlow, offering guests a special culinary experience while supporting the great cause of helping feed Oklahoma families and individuals.

This year’s dinner featured one of Tulsa’s favorites, Dead Armadillo Brewing, who has participated in The Hop Jam festival since its inception. On hand for the dinner was a special selection of beers curated for the occasion, paired with a multi-course meal. Dead Armadillo is locally owned and operated in Tulsa and has been producing craft beer since 2013. They are invested in local giving, and are thrilled to support the Food Bank through its many charitable events each year.

“We’re thrilled to continue our support of the Food Bank with the second Brewers’ Table Dinner later this summer. This is another chance for The Hop Jam to bring together the amazing elements of craft beer, and community. We’re looking forward to another great event”, said Taylor Hanson.

The relationship with the Community Food Bank and The Hop Jam has been firmly established since the first event in 2014. The annual tradition of raising funds through the sale of raffle tickets for the chance to win a custom Hop Guitar will continue in 2018, and this year it will be extended to provide the opportunity to raise further funds, with the final giveaway coinciding with the 2018 Brewers’ Table Dinner.“We are so excited to again host the Brewers’ Table Dinner in partnership with the Hanson brothers” said Eileen Bradshaw, executive director of the Food Bank. “It highlights Tulsa’s burgeoning brew culture, showcases the talents of the food bank chefs, and raises food for our neighbors who struggle. It all comes together in a wonderful evening.”About the Community Food Bank of Eastern OklahomaFounded in 1981, the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma is one of the largest, private hunger-relief organizations in Oklahoma.
